Court records reveal that the Google purchase includes 100 million emails, 500 million Microsoft Teams chats, 7.2 billion records for competitors’ flights, 7.5 billion passenger transaction records from 2008, and more than 175,000 employee records from 1986. Aside from this, the company will also get information on revenue, aircraft operations, employee productivity records, audits and fraud, marketing campaigns, human resources records, project management, and pricing curve data, among others.

This could be a cause of concern for anyone who’s ever transacted with the airline, either as a customer, employee, contractor, or even investor, especially as AI is known for its privacy problems. However, the company will not get access to personal data, including the 97.5 million passenger profiles that the airline kept or the 50.2 million customer records from the Free Spirit loyalty program. Furthermore, the court said that all the data being turned over to Google will be “rigorously scrubbed of any personally identifiable information by a third party before receipt.”
